NEW YORK, June a.
The result OF the recent battle for the al
legged lightweight championship Of the world
between Jem Carney, of England, and
Jimmy Mitchell, OF Philadelphia, Arthur
Chambers protege, compels me to revert for
a moment to pugilism. 1t is of course just
as absurd for Carney to claim the light
weight premiership on account of having de-
feated second rate man as it is for Jake
Kilrain to posa as the Champion simply be-
cause John l. would not accept the heavy
weight belt which Fox had made as a means
Of advertising his paper. After getting the
belt ne must needs have holder for it, and
as the champion Of champions refused to
pose as q fgurehead for private adver-
tising snap, Fox, in despair, turned TO Kill
rain. And to this has pugilism degenerated.
When second rate scribbler like w. e.
Harding, TO whom English grammar Is as
much Of an enigma as Greek, can make
champion, ii is time for all reputable writers
to 60 ont Ct the business.

Than such statue, and it is fitting that the
United States of today should bear in mind
the great services of this French hero of the
past. Lafayette was one of the first French
men to come to the aid of the United States
III the revolutionary struggle. He fitted out
yacht at his own expense and left France to
sail to America after the king forbade him.
When he arrived at Philadelphia he told con-

Decorated the Statue.

A well known Bohemian newspaper
man yesterday recalled the celebrated
Washington's birthday few years ago
when in the early morning the statue Of
the father Of his country i'll front of In
dependence hall was discovered decor
ated with cooked hat made of a news
paper. The hat was adorned with a
magnificent paper feather, and the i'm
mortal George wore it jauntily on the
side of the head, cooked over one eye.
That was done by myself and another
reporter, - said the newspaper man re-
ferred to, land the conception was born
of conviviality. We had been out on u
little lark the previous night, and in the
wee sma' hours of the morning we con-
ceived the idea of dressing up the statue
in honor of the natal day of the great
man whose memory it is supposed to
perpetuate. 1t was hard work climbing
up to adjust the hat, but l had my re
ward in the sensation it caused. -

Change at the Box ONCE.

A person in a theatre box office sees a
great deal of all sides of life, and is often
placed in a very delicate position, and
often must seem over particular, prob
ably, as he has a certain number of tickets,
and when he closes down his window he
must have either his tickets or the money
to represent them to the cent. In the
hurry people often imagine they have not
received the right change, though asper-
son accustomed to being in a box office
rarely makes a mistake, as he knows he
cannot make a practice of correcting
them, or he will become the victim of all
the beats in the city. 1t becomes neces-
sary, really, to enforce strict bank rules
in this regard, and no bank will correct a
mistake in money handed over the counter
and taken away before the mistake is dis
covered. 1t may be against them, but
even then they can't depart from their
rule to make an investigation.
A friend of mine in a box office had an
experience a short time ago. A stranger
bought two tickets, laying down So
bill, and receiving his change. After the
performance he appeared at the box office
door and said he had handed in so and
had received change for only s.. Had
the mistake really been made it would
have been noticed in a moment in max
ing up the house report; but it had not
been, though the fellow insisted that it
had, and did all he could to make trouble
over it. No bank or place where tran
sactiOns are entirely Of a money charac-
ter, and change made quickly, would toll
crate this for a moment. -Globe-Demo-

BABY BEASTS AT A ZOO.

A Mother Monkey and Her Daughter.
The Jaguar's 'Kid"-The LiOness' Cubs.
Many of the females have become moth
ers, and the most interesting feature yes
terday was to watch the various ways in
which the maternal instinct or care was
manifested. In a cage with the mandrills
and huge rainbow hued balloons, whose
variegated hues III the dazzling sunlight
no painter can portray, are confined
several Macaiques One of the females
of the latter family some two months
since became a mother, and the little
shaver Is just old enough to be interesting.
AS the cage was approached the mother,
with the young one clinging to her breast,
holding on to the hairs, jumped from a
horizontal bar in the middle of the cage
to the parallel upright bars in front, and,
sliding down, mother and daughter sat
on their launches peering out. The
mother monkey never lets the daughter
move but few inches from her side,
pulling her by the tail when she goes too
far. Sometimes the other monkeys
annoy the mother, but the male mandrill
soon settles them, for he seems to have
taken great fancy to the little fellow,
and has taken him under his especial at
tention, and as he is the terror of the
monkey world, and one of the ughest
animals at the garden, his word is law,
and the mother for the most part is I'M
mOlested She sat on her hatInches and
relished the pieces of pretzels that We're
passed through to her, but the daughter
was not old enough to take nOurishment
that way.
The jaguar. which has a kid about
three months old, resents the intrusion of
any impertinent eyes, and if the little
fellow has crawled to the front of the
cage, and a visitor looks too sharply,
pulls it snappingly back with her sharp
left paw. When visitors come i'll num-
bers she SEXES it in her mouth and car
ries it to the extreme rear Of the cage,
drops it in the darkness and straw and
quickly comes with glaring eyes and
cat like tread to the bars, showing her
sharp teeth, with as much as to say:
mo, you shan't have it. - Considering
that she has eaten up three htters before,
such precautions seems slightly super
huOus.
The leOpardess Lucy also had young
one that she has manifested so strong a
desire to eat up that the little girl Kit
tie, who news for her half pound of
chopped beef like kitten, had to be re-
moved to the adjoining cage, with Tom,
her father, whose fOndness for his
daughter is so great that he allows her to
take the meat out of his mouth. Kittie
is months old, about as large as a cat.
with sharp, cold gray eyes, and spots
that are darker than either those of her
sire or dam. At night the cub sleeps
with her mother.

The Wonderful Australian Rabbit.

Commodore Douglass, of the Oceanic
company, who went off III the tug Relief
to meet the Zealandia and get the Aus
tralian mails for London. reports that the
reason for the steamer not coming over
TIE bar was that the much advertised
Australian rabbits OH board had taken
possession of the steamer. Some of the
rabbits jumped overheard, and the cap
tain, desiring to save his cargo, ordered a
boat lowered: but when this was done
the rabbits that jumped overheard had so
increased in quantity while they Were do
ing so that they threatened to swamp the
boat. Capt. Van OtterendOrp then lowered
two other boats TO save his officers in the
first one and while looking for them he
was delayed so much that it was impos-
sible to get over the bar. The rabbits are

Horse Power of a Whale.

1t has been estimated that a Greenland
right whale, fifty or sixty feet long, will
travel at the rate of nine to ten knots an
nour; but finner whales will swim at
higher rates of speed, while the sperm
whale will prOpel itself twelve knots in
an hour. Whales eighty feet in length
frequently visit British waters, one of
this size being stranded at Longniddry a
few years ago. 1t weighed seventy-four
tons. and its tail measured eighteen to
twenty feet across the f1ukes. Assuming
this Ieyiathan travelled at the higher rate
of speed twelve knots it would, accord

Peanuts and Sumac.

In talk the other day with ex-Gov-

to two large industries of his state by
saying that Virginia raises more peanuts
than wheat and that sumac gathering has
assumed a leading position as an indus
try. The sumac grows wild and is gath
cred by the colored people at a time of the
year when they have nothing else to do.
They pick the blossoms in great bags
which they carry to the cities where the
sumac is dried and pulverized for chemi-
cal and medicinal uses. At Petersburg.
